SUMMARY:Women and Water: On the frontline of climate change
DESCRIPTION:Climate change impacts us all – with the immediate effects most often felt through water insecurity. So why\, we ask\, is only 3% of climate finance dedicated to water-related adaptation? As 2030 fast approaches\, the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets on water and sanitation are still distant hopes\, and water insecurity is growing as the climate crisis becomes a reality for billions of people. As stewards of water\, women and girls confront the impacts of climate change every day yet lack decision making power to influence climate finance commitments to water security. These impacts are deepening the devastating impact of widespread gender inequality in our changing climate. We ask our policy makers and leaders to prioritise investment in gender transformative water security at COP27 and to commit to the clear actions defined in this webinar. \nThe webinar will include statements and presentations to demonstrate water security evidence\, WASH as a pathway for gender equality\, and the essential element of gender responsive climate finance that includes investment in water\, sanitation\, and hygiene. Breakout groups will discuss 5 calls to action as we finalize a Joint Statement for endorsement in lead up to COP27. Please join the dialogue! Note the plenary session will have interpretation in French and English. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Addressing urban disparities in sexual and reproductive health and rights
DESCRIPTION:Engage with the Population Council and invited experts from UN-Habitat\, PSI\, and the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC) in a panel discussion regarding urban disparities in SRHR\, and the challenges and opportunities for leveraging the urban context to tackle these disparities. \nSexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are a critical component of ensuring that all people\, and particularly women and girls\, lead healthy and productive lives. Significant inequities in key SRHR outcomes are observed across many demographic and social indicators\, including urban residence. Urban environments and populations are extremely diverse with regard to their socio-demographic makeup\, economic status\, access to key infrastructure and services\, social norms and preferences. While a growing body of research highlights this variation in SRHR outcomes within and across cities\, a focus on individual level characteristics fails to capture a fully comprehensive view of urban SRHR risks and needs. \nOur webinar will convene experts to discuss ways to improve SRHR outcomes in the urban context\, specifically neighborhood or structural challenges\, measurement and data issues\, and current gaps to help define a comprehensive research agenda moving forward. \n  \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Lucky Iron Fish Lunch & Learn with CanWaCH
DESCRIPTION:Lucky Iron Fish is hosting a digital lunch and learn session to showcase their latest data and research on the use of the Lucky Iron Fish to address iron deficiency anemia. Lucky Iron Fish offers a novel tool for iron deficiency anemia and provides in-depth training and resources for program implementation. Over the past 4 years\, Lucky Iron Fish has partnered with organizations including CARE\, Action Against Hunger\, World Vision and Catholic Relief Services and has worked with partners to deliver programs in Benin\, Tanzania\, Senegal\, Guatemala\, Peru and India. Most recently\, Lucky Iron Fish has conducted and completed several trials and pilots and received funding from Canadian Fund for Local Initiatives (India) and The Fund for Innovation and Transformation (with CARE in Benin). Please join us for an interactive 1 hour session\, space will be provided for questions and discussion.\n\nAbout the company: Lucky Iron Fish is a Canadian social enterprise and B-Corp dedicated to preventing and addressing iron deficiency around the globe. The economic impact of iron deficiency is clear\, contributing to a over $70B annual global GDP loss\, and an estimated 20% decrease in women’s earning potential. Impacting mostly women and children\, iron deficiency causes nausea\, fatigue\, fainting\, headaches\, and hair loss. Iron deficiency also restricts cognitive and physical development in children. To address this massive global challenge\, Lucky Iron Fish created the Lucky Iron Fish (and Leaf). The Fish/Leaf is a culturally sensitive\, scientifically proven innovation to fortify meals with natural iron and reduce the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia. Clinical work on the Fish has been published by independent academic institutions to demonstrate its safety\, efficacy\, and impact. Preparing meals or boiling water with the Fish/Leaf and a few drops of citrus/acid for 10 minutes releases a consistent amount (6-8mg) of iron that fortifies the meal. Feedback and other assessments indicate that the iron does not affect the taste or color of the food and no side-effects have been reported. The Fish/Leaf are designed to appeal to the end-user to improve compliance. As a result\, compliance levels have been shown to be high (>85%) in many places. Cooking with the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf is safe and effective and can be used by a family of up to five people for five years. Therefore\, not only are the Fish/Leaf simple to use\, but they are affordable and sustainable. Lucky Iron Fish offers discounted pricing to NGOs\, Charities\, Foundations\, and Corporate CSR programs in order to make the Fish/Leaf accessible to communities around the world.\n\nRegister here!

SUMMARY:13th International Conference on the Maternal Child Health Handbook
DESCRIPTION:The 13th International Conference on the Maternal & Child Health (MCH) Handbook promotes health equity and aims to bring the health of mothers and their children to the forefront as\, too often\, social barriers make mothers feel invisible. MCH Handbook is a home-based health record and information tool which supports women throughout their pregnancy\, delivery\, and the postnatal period\, along with the first few years of their children’s lives. Aside from being a source of information\, the MCH Handbook strives to empower parents by strengthening communication between them and health professionals and encouraging them to be actively involved in decision-making and management of their family’s health. \nDuring the COVID-19 pandemic\, global maternal and fetal outcomes worsened\, with rises in maternal deaths\, stillbirths\, and maternal depression. Overall\, the pandemic has highlighted an urgent need to prioritize accessible and equitable maternal care. \nThe primary objectives of this conference are to: \n\nAdvocate for social cohesion through equitable holistic maternal and child care around the globe\nPromote the implementation of the MCH Handbook as a global standard tool\nSupport the needs of underprivileged families\, including refugees\, migrants\, and ethnic minorities\n\nOverall\, this conference is an opportunity to reflect on the impact of COVID-19 on the implementation and use of the MCH Handbook and identify future trajectories and strategies to ensure the program’s success. We gladly invite healthcare professionals\, researchers\, policymakers\, students\, and anyone passionate about improving maternal and child care\, to attend\, share experience and learn more about how we are striving to make mothers visible. \nRegister here
